Passive
Dragon’s Roar
Zilong becomes more powerful as his health decreases, gaining damage reduction and enhancing his basic skills:
Hidden Dragon : 66% < HP ≤ 100%: 5% damage reduction.
Rising Dragon: 33% < HP ≤ 66%: 10% damage reduction; Skill 1’s dash distance increases by 50 units; Skill 2 gains an additional strike with the Dragon Spear.
Soaring Dragon 0 < HP ≤ 33%: 20% damage reduction; Skill 1’s dash distance increases by 100 units; Skill 2 gains two additional strikes with the Dragon Spear.
Any healing that exceeds the current health tier is converted into a permanent shield. When the shield fills one tier, the shield below that tier is converted back into HP.

Zilong Best Partners
Dharma: Both heroes have strong initiation capabilities, threatening the enemy backline, and their skill combos can effectively control the battlefield. During ganks, Damo’s ultimate can kick an enemy hero into a wall, followed by Zhao Yun’s ultimate for high damage output.
Miyamoto Musashi: Both have strong initiation capabilities. Miyamoto jumps in first, hitting the enemy backline, followed by Zhao Yun’s ultimate to finish off the enemy. Together, they have strong ganking abilities, with Miyamoto initiating and Zhao Yun following up to ensure high hit rates for Zhao Yun’s ultimate, enhancing his damage output.
ZILONG COUNTER AND TIPS
- Liu Bang’s taunt can effectively control Zhao Yun’s output or eliminate him.
- Wang Zhaojun’s slows and control skills limit Zhao Yun’s output capabilities.
Counter Tips
Fragile heroes should maintain a safe distance to prevent close-range output; Zhao Yun has strong late-game fighting capabilities, so assassins should avoid solo confrontations.
Gameplay Tips and Tricks
Use Skill 1 to engage, combining with Skill 2 for damage output. Focus on ganking lanes early to help teammates gain an advantage. Mid-game is Zhao Yun’s strong phase; consider a semi-tank build to leverage his passive for high combat effectiveness in fights.
Team Fight Strategy
During team fights, Zhao Yun should wait for the right moment to use Skill 1 to dive the enemy backline and eliminate squishy damage dealers or directly initiate with his ultimate to hit as many enemies as possible, then continue with Skill 1 for sustained pursuit.
